I was thinking of getting one off of Aliexpress but if ATM/Orion are significantly better, then I'd pay the price for it.
ATM is a Helix core with rounded end tanks. It also eliminates factory quick connects for a better seal.

Orion is a CX Racing core that comes with larger hard pipes to flow more air and also eliminates quick connects for a better seal.

The $200 intercoolers on aliexpress don't replace factory quick connects. I'm not totally sure what they do, but they're better than stock.
